Martial Arts for All

Kickboxing has long been viewed as a male dominated sport and here at Xen-Do we can’t think of a single reason why it should be. It’s time to break the mould!

Over half of our members are women of varying ages. Our classes are designed to incorporate everyone and create a fun, friendly and safe environment to get fit, learn a martial art, and enjoy yourself.

Don’t believe us? Ask one of our members. Charlotte has been attending our group classes since 2015 and this is what she had to say about her experience with us:

"For me, Xen-Do was a real eye opener. It changed my perspective on what martial arts is and added a new dimension to my exercise routine. Before I started, I had assumed kickboxing was something that involved blood lust and beatings. A male dominated dojo where men took chunks out of each other to see who was king of the jungle.

Xen-Do couldn’t be further from that. Leaving your ego at the door is a prerequisite and the instructors are first class at making everyone feel safe and comfortable so that you can learn new techniques and get a top workout. They allow each individual to progress at their own pace. Xen-Do has taught me how to defend myself, it has introduced me to a new type of training that incorporates my whole body and it has also allowed me to meet more new and interesting people than I can count. The instructors have a fantastic rapport with all their students and the confidence Xen-Do has given me in the rest of my life is unquantifiable. As an overall experience, Xen-Do is the full package and I would encourage every woman to give it a try."
